AT&T quietly reintroduces unlimited data for some iPhone subscribers

If you were wondering how much of a threat AT&T thinks Verizon is with the iPhone, it looks like they may be panicing a bit.

The Associated Press has discovered AT&T is quietly offering existing subscribers, who used to be on unlimited plans for their iPhone, the option to have unlimited data again. The thinking here is anyone who had unlimited data, before AT&T removed the option, might switch networks to get it back on Verizon.

The offer seems to be limited to those customers contacting AT&T customer services, but whose to say the company won’t start its sales team phoning round and making the offer to all subscribers who used to have unlimited data plans?

AT&T for the time being is saying nothing, but with Verizon offering unlimited data and mobile hotspot access for $20, they’d be right to be a little worried.

I contacted customer service today and they had no idea what I was talking about.I even said I would switch to verizon and they didn’t care. Only time will tell if they will give it back or not.

Are you referring to those who signed up for an iPhone with AT&T after they got rid of the unlimited data? Because those of us who already had the unlimited data plan got to keep it. I still have mine.

I called, but after 10 mins holding the CSR gave me a BS reason. Said that they can only change it back if the line was originally suspended due to military leave at the time the unlimited plan was down graded.
